Sales of Rowayton waterfront homes increased from 2017 as downsizers and empty-nesters continue to drive buyer activity, the report said.
Greenwich also is experiencing a steady rise in the sales of ultra luxury homes. The number of homes sold for more than $10 million in 2017 doubled over the prior year: eight homes sold in 2017 compared to four in 2016.
